Hello again everybody, you’ll be sick of me but Misty asked me if I wouldn’t mind doing her ‘cutie pic’ post for her while she was recovering from her op which was due tomorrow morning. She’s had all the preparation for it, psyched herself up, had the Covid pre-op test etc etc only to be told last minute that it is cancelled due to staffing problems. 😩 SO disappointing for her when she’s been waiting for this op for soooo long. 😭 Not even an alternative date, so she’s feeling very fragile, in a lot of pain and extremely tired. 🥺 So she asked that I still do the post for her.
I hope you like my choice of cutie pic. As you all know I love sheep, but what’s more appealing about this pic is the total trust and honest love between the wee lass and the woolly lamb. 🥰
Misty told me, and I agree, that half the fun of the cutie posts is the memories and stories that come from all of us. I hope you don’t mind me sharing 2 stories that came to mind thinking of the innocence and trust infants have for nature and animals.
My family emigrated to Australia when I was 4 years old in 1960. We went through the Suez Canal and stopped at Aden where we were allowed ashore for a few hours. I evidently saw a camel and threw my arms around its hind legs. My mother was aghast but the camel didn’t move an inch until she gently but swiftly unhooked my arms and took me away. As soon as I was away from the camel it shuffled a little and then did the longest pee!
The other story my Dad told me about the village where he grew up was about a 3 year old boy who went missing. The whole village searched high and low for him but nobody could find him. Finally as it was getting dark the father of the wee boy noticed the door to the pen and run for his big male pig was slightly open. This pig was known to be aggressive with adults but here was the wee boy curled up with the boar fast asleep. The pig didn’t harm the boy as he didn’t see him as a threat in any way and the boy didn’t know any better than to trust and love the pig.
If anybody has any stories this pic reminds them of please share them to cheer up our Misty while she rests and comes to terms with this major setback for her.
Hoping you feel better soon Misty and that you soon have word of a rescheduled op. 🙏🏻🤗😘💕💐xxx
